Essential purchases from COW

Better late than never, here are my purchases from the informal bring & buy at COW. There are always some books - the first is every bit as dodgy as it looks and has already been read and put in the surplus pile. 

I’ve still not had a rummage in this box of old 25mm medievals - they were comfortingly cheap though!

David Crook provided these 25mm Sea Peoples figures for an excellent price. Free!
DC also very kindly gave me this splendid book from the collection of the late Eric Knowles. Toy soldier porn of the very highest quality.
The seemingly bottomless boot of DC’s car also yielded this box of dodgy 54mm ‘modern’ figures. I’ve kept a few (and the palm trees) and passed the others to Ian Drury. 
Finally, there is this box of high quality plastic. There are three tolerable Humvees in there, plus a tank transporter.

    The Tradition book is a particularly fine acquisition - my father gave me my copy on his return from a trip to London approaching 50 years ago, I still occasionally use it as a painting reference.

    Terrific treasures Tim. Looking forward to seeing the Medieval unboxed.

    Plenty to keep me busy! In fact aside from some Humvee fettling I’ve not even sorted through the toys.

    And I’m sure your painting meets the standard set in the book!

    All such purchases are and will remain essential.
